Newbie to electrics needs direction

Hello all,

I have been into RC'ing for well over 15 years now but have ALWAYS had nitro's, trucks, planes, and heli's. I was always under the impression that the nitro's had more power than the electrics so I really never messed with them, but I can see now, I was wrong. I just received my first electric a few days ago, a 1/16 E-Revo. To my complete surprise, this thing is a little powerhouse. And now, as we always do, I am ready for some upgrades. My only problem is, I KNOW NOTHING about electrics. My question is, can anybody recommend a good webpage or article so i can better acquaint myself with electrics, mainly motors and esc's. Brushed, brushless, motor sizing, turns, what does it mean? Ive done some searching but really haven't found what I'm looking for. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
